I work with many different classes in many different ways. Here are some examples, and the ideal lead time I need to prep (and to avoid calendaring conflicts!):
- The Library's Syllabus Statement
- A customized Course Guide
- A short meet & greet with me, and intro to/refresher on library research (5-20 minutes)
- 1 week lead time
- Useful for consultation-intensive classes
- A deeper dive into information literacy, or a guided working session (60-90 minutes)
- 2-4 weeks lead time
- A deeper dive into information literacy [such as: tips & tricks of specific databases; scavenger hunt for library sources; a discussion around source evaluation, etc.]
- Small group consultations (in which I meet with 1-4 students at once)
- Self-scheduled with the student(s), but it's helpful for me to know if you're directing the whole class to make appointments with me.
- It's often helpful for me to come in for a few minutes to class to introduce myself to the students and to briefly address some commonly asked questions.
- Feel free to put the link to my scheduler in your syllabus or on Moodle: https://go.carleton.edu/akay
- Help finding streaming media or digital images (15-20 minutes)
- 1 week lead time
- A consultation to help performing or visual arts students find media relevant to their coursework [such as introducing students to Carleton-provided streaming services, showing them where to locate images by a specific artist, teaching them how to play CDs or DVDs, etc.]
- An explainer on copyright, creative commons licenses, and fair use (15-30 minutes)
- 1-2 weeks lead time
- An introduction to copyright and fair use in an educational context, and an explainer for where to find materials they can use in their work without violating copyright laws
...or something else! Always feel free to reach out, no matter when it is.
